I have an IPA conditioning in a secondary (actually tertiary) but before I moved it to there and removed the dry hop bag, there were little white floaties all throughout the beer. I swear one of them blinked at me. Im thinking it may be bacteria. If you could imagine little pieces of hard bacon grease thats what it looked like. I siphoned off the beer leaving the vast majority of the white thingies in the last 1/2 gal or so. I star-san'd the heck outta that carboy and soaked the bag for the hops in starsan for well over an hour before use.
The beer smelled fine and tasted ok - no off flavors. That was Friday and Im still alive so must not be harmful. I have rewashed and re-sanitized the carboy and transferred it back to the carboy (same day). I even stuck it in the fridge to help with settling. What I find unusual is that it has started fermenting again - in the fridge. the airlock has some activity for the past few days. This one has been a weird one since brew day.
